Liverpool were written out of the title race by a few people after Sunday's defeat at Chelsea. However, Stephen Warnock says the Reds are still contenders and will prove it on the pitch.

"We've all heard and read what people have been saying about our chances and it just makes us more determined to prove everyone wrong," said the Academy graduate.

"As soon as the final whistle went on Sunday, we'd all have happily gone back out and played Newcastle there and then just to get another game going.

"We know we've got a lot of quality here and there isn't a lot wrong and now we've got to go out there tomorrow night and show it.

"Obviously it's really disappointing to have lost on Sunday. We had so many great chances, Dirk hit a great shot at the bar and the penalty shout didn't go our way.

"But when you've outplayed the champions at their own place for such a long period, you know you're playing pretty well.

"We were beaten by a great goal. If Drogba tried that another ten times he wouldn't repeat it. Now we've got to just look forward to being back at Anfield."
